In part, but I think IntroComp has benefit beyond people turning
specific intros into games. Neil deMause started the competition
because so many games' openings were terrible, and he wanted people to
think more about how they hook players. I know that playing through
IntroComp entries has taught me a lot about what does and doesn't
work. In that sense, IntroComp is well and truly fulfilling its
mission.
